Unit 1When we approach the notion of friendship, our first problem is that there is a lack of socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. Therefore, people tend to have a very thin understanding of what friendship really means. To help us understand what friendship really means, we need to review some classical views of friendship.One classical view of friendship is provided by Aristotle, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle distinguishes between what he believes to be genuine friendships and two other forms: one based on mutual usefulness, the other on pleasure. So, according to Aristotle, we may find three kinds of friendship:Friendship based on utility. Utility is an impermanent thing: it changes according to circumstances. When the ground for friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. Friendships of this kind seem to occur most frequently between the elderly, because at their age what they want is not pleasure but utility. Friendships based on utility are also frequently found among those in middle or early life who are pursuing their own advantage. Such persons donot spend much time together, because sometimes they do not even like one another, and therefore feel no need of such an association unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure in each other's company only in so far as they have hopes of advantage from it.翻译1.以共同兴趣为基础的友谊是不容易破裂的。

Unit2Iron deficiency is very common among women in general, affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45, respectively. But the ratio is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes. This means, Lyle says, that "too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in";. Women of child-bearing age are at greatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss. Plus, many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat, which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron. And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight, they may not consume enough iron-rich food, and are liable to experience a deficiencyUnit3Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture. For the student to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school's philosophies and outlook. The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups, go to a yearly three-day regional retreat, and spend at least three times a year in workshops, discussion groups and seminars at Bath. Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions. Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts. The biggest obstacle for many parents, they say, is to realize their own weaknesses.Unit4The Statue of LibertyIn the mid-1870s, French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance. At the same time, he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada. His mother could not approve of her son's affection for a woman she had never met, but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statue's right arm and torch, and displayed them in Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his wife's arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.Unit6Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the earth's crust move, the stresses between plates,how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy. However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared. These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.Unit7Indeed,if there’sone thing that distinguishes the gate style,if is his time management skills.conservation of time .energy ,and focus are his hallmaks.he moves between playing the role of international spokesman for the age of technology and planning business stategy back at headquarters,getting the maximum amount of work possible out of every minute.always punctual and always in high gear,he typically leaves only the tiniset cracks in the day for eating,talking to friends or recreation.the joke arround microsoft is that his receptionist is the hardest working person in the word.in fact ,he has several receptionists.he probably needs one just to arrange his travel plans and visas to foreign countries.Unit8What are the other implications of cloning for society?The gravest concern isn't really cloning itself, but genetic engineering —the deliberate altering of genes to create human beings according to certain requirements. Specifically, some experts are concerned about the creation of a new (and disrespected) social class: "the clones". One expert believes the situation could be comparable to what occurred in the 16th century, when Europeans puzzled over how to classify the unfamiliar inhabitants of the Americas, and endlessly debated whether or not they were humans.Unit9Romantic love has no bearing on this process, say these lawyers, who consider prenups to be business agreements. Their justification: some 50 percent of all marriages in the United States end up on the trash heap.Moreover, the discussions for a prenuptial agreement, which involve laying bare all one's finances, sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage. "It sheds light on issues which could later widen and result in divorce," said a lawyer.2单元缺铁是很常见的一般妇女，影响到18至45岁的5名妇女，分别有四分之一的女青年和1。

大学英语第三册背诵段落Lesson One 12Lesson Two 4 /7Lesson Three 14/12Lesson Four 1-2Lesson Five 7Lesson Six 7Lesson OnePara 12 Just as my father’s death had changed Jimmy’s world overnight, September 11th changed our lives; the world we’d kno wn was gone. But, as we sang for Jimmy and held each other tight afterward praying for peace around the world, we were reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and family would get us through whatever life might present. The simplicity with which Jimmy had reconciled everything for us should not have been surprising. There had never been any limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.Lesson TwoPara. 4 Iron deficiency is very common among women in general, affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45, respectively. But the ratio is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes. This means, Lyle says, that “too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in”. Women of childbearing age are at greatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss. Plus, many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat, which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron. And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight, they may not consume enough iron-rich food, and are liable to experience a deficiency.Para. 7There are three stages of iron deficiency. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. Fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear in the second stage of deficiency, when not enough iron is present to form the molecules of blood protein that transport oxygen to the working muscles. In the third and final stage, people often feel weak, tired, and out of breath—and exercise performance is severely compromised.Lesson ThreePara 14 Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture. For the student to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school’s philosophies and outlook. The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups, go to a yearly three-day regional retreat, and spend at least three times a year in work-shops, discussion groups and seminars at Bath. Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions. Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts. The biggest obstacle for many parents, they say, is to realize their own weaknesses.Para 12a Explaining his approach to education, Joe Gauld says the conventional education system cannot be reformed. He notes “no amount of change” with the horse and carriage “will produce an automobile”. The Hyde School assumes “every human being has a unique potential” that is based on character, not intelligence or wealth. Conscience and hard work are valued. Success is measured by growth, not academic achievement. Students are required to take responsibility for each other. To avoid the controversy of other character programs used in US schools, Gauld says the concept of doing your best has nothing to do with forcing the students to accept a particular set of morals or religious values.Lesson FourPara. 1In the mid-1870s, French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance. At the same time, he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada.

It is said that he had used his wife’s arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.Lesson FivePara. 7 Time seems to stand still. In the total silence, I feel my own pulse quicken and hear my breathing as it begins to match hers, breath for uneven breath. Our eyes meet and somehow, together, we become aware that this is a special moment between two human beings... Her long fingers curl easily around my hand and I nod my head slowly, smiling. Without words, through yellowed eyes, I receive my thank-you and her eyes slowly close.Lesson SixPara. 7 Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the Earth’s crust move, the stresses between plates, how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy.

U522 The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a "simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right," he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.纳尔逊牧师写道，他那平凡的传统校长的岁月随着学校里发生的如此迅猛的变化而结束，他怀着自我怀疑的心态退了休。

“说我做得不对的远远多于说我做得对的，”他写道，接着说我的信给他带来了振奋人心的信心：自己的校长生涯还是有其价值的。

23 A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her "settin' down" some letter to relatives. Character by character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours. I wept over the page representing my Grandma's recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me -- whom she used to diaper!一看到外祖母那熟悉的笔迹，我顿时回想起往日站在她的白色摇椅旁看她给亲戚写信的情景。

Unit 1 The way to success *Paragraph 7-8 Page 5* Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expand the substantial effort, required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire - a robust, fierce will and focus - that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a wise saying goes:”It’s not how many times you fail down that matters.It’s how many times you get back up that makes success!”许多人只是说他们想要什么，但他们并没有扩大实质性的努力。

许多人让失败的威胁阻止了他们全身心的尝试。

成功的秘诀是建立在燃烧的内在欲望的基础上——一种坚定的、强烈的意志和专注，它能激发我们行动的决心，使我们做好准备，即使在我们疲倦和失败的时候也能坚持下去。

常言道：“重要的不是你失败了多少次，而是你成功了多少次。

！“Focus on becoming more knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going - even when you are tired and want to slack or the odds seem too large. “Keep your eyes on the prize!””Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”With thehard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success!专注于变得更有见识。

1Human brings live in the realm of nature. They are not only dwellers in nature, but al so transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows. Hum an beings are connected with nature by "blood" ties. No one can live outside nature. H owever, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of bre aking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed. Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.4Some people think that they've fulfilled their tasks as long as they go on duty and co me off duty on time. They never think about what is meant by "work" and why they sh ould work at all. In fact, "work" involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiasm, imagi nation and creativity. To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, a nd be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should hav e initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability. In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he i s doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life. Whatever he do es, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieve extraordinary result s in otherwise ordinary work.5Many people want to be famous because fame can bring them both honor and respect form the public. In most cases, fame can also help them gain wealth. But, after all, ver y few people can really become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous. It is true that some failure for some people at certain time s in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of m aterials before he finally found the suitalbe fuse for the electric bulb. However, unfortu nately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you hav e tried your best, you’re already successful whether you are famous or not.6What is truth?Truth is the correct reflection of people’s knowledge about the objectiv e world and its laws.Truth makes people full of hope and life full of brilliance and glor y.Thereforek,many people regardd the pursuit of truth as the ultimate goal of their live s.In human history,many people devoted their lives to the pursuit of truth and made ou tstanding contributions to mankind. Truth is both absolute and relative.We say that trut h is absolute because truth can objectively reflect the essentials of things. However, an y truth is but people’s correct understanding of the development of things at a certain s tage. Therefore,truth is relative and develops constantly. Sometimes,the brilliance of tr uth may seem beyond their reach. In fact,it is close at hand.We can find truth as long a s we keep pursuing it heart and soul.7Today, long after the earthquake shook // hit my tome-town, I can still recall, in cryst al detail, what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents. The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of chokin g dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screa ming. Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been build to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory wi ll linger.8Honesty is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it is the basic moral principle for every citizen. Without honesty, a country would lose its status in the world; a family would lose its harmony; and a citizen would lose his or her personal dignity. No wonder it is said that honesty is more precious than gold. It isa tie for people to maintain relationships of mutual trust, the cornerstone for the development and progress of human society.Honesty is the exterior expression of a citizen’s moral character, the crystallization of a variety of spiritual elements such as ethics, morality, ideology, culture, etc. To be honest and to keep one’s word, one must have a noble moral character. To perfect one’s morality and behavior, one must be honest and dependable, and always keep one’s promise. Only when honesty is cherished as every citizen’s basic moral principle can the harmony of families and the prosperity of the country be guaranteed.。

Something was definitely happening here. It was messier than a food fight and much more important than whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable. My kids were doing what Copernicus did when he placed the sun at the center of the universe, readjusting the centuries-old paradigm of an Earth-centered system. They were doing what Reuben Mattus did when he renamed his Bronx ice cream Haagen-Dazs and raised the price without changing the product. They were doing what Edward Jenner did when he discovered a vaccination for smallpox by abandoning his quest for a cure.毫无疑问，这里正发生着什么事儿，这事儿比争抢粮食还乱，比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜重要得多，哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心，重新调整地心说这一长达数世纪的范式，我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年做的事。

在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。

许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。

很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。

或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。

但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。

多尔蒂先生创建自己的理想生活吉姆·多尔蒂1有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。

如今我同时做着这两件事。

作为作家，我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级，作为农场主，我和乡邻也不是同一类人，不过我应付得还行。

在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。

2这是一种自力更生的生活。

我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。

自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩余几十个出售。

自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动手砍柴，足可供过冬取暖之用。

3这也是一种令人满足的生活。

夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。

冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。

我们为落日的余辉而激动。

我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。

我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。

4但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。

就在三个月前，气温降到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。

再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。

前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。

过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。

这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。

5在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。

桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。

除了日常的家务，她还照管菜园和蜂房，烘烤面包，将食品装罐、冷藏，开车送孩子学音乐，和他们一起练习，自己还要上风琴课，为我做些研究工作并打字，自己有时也写写文章，还要侍弄花圃，堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。
